Dear Lukasz,
I find this an excellent idea. But, if we want to put something together we’s better move fast.
From my side, I am leading the team International data infrastructures at GESIS, a social science infrastructure in Germany. GESIS represents two European social science infrastructures: European Social Survey and CESSDA (the archiving infrastructure). What is more, I coordinate CESSDA Training, that organizes events across Europe on issues such as Digital Preservation, Data Management, Data Discovery and Data Analysis. What is more, GESIS itself has a very active Knowledge Transfer Team, that organizes Trainings in various forms on all sides of data methodology and data science. In such a proposal I can bring in GESIS as a German Infrastructure and separately CESSDA as a pan-European Infrastructure.
We might want to include a university to our consortium to address the first point of the scope (development of university curricula). Does any of you have contacts to a university specializing on e-infrastructures?
Bests,
Alexia

Betreff: [rda-edu-ig] H2020 topic “New professions and skills for e-infrastructures” (INFRASUPP-4-2015)
Dear all,
There is an open call for proposals in Horizon 2020 that is particularly well-suited for this IG: INFRASUPP-4-2015, “New professions and skills for e-infrastructures”:
http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/opportunitie…
It calls for coordination and support actions with the budget of 2.5 M€, deadline for submissions is 14th January 2015. The scope is very much in line with what we’re trying to achieve in this IG. This is a great opportunity for us to secure funding for concrete actions!
Would you be interested in forming a consortium? What competences and what input could you contribute?
Let me start with myself. My research centre (ICM, University of Warsaw) is involved in the topic in several ways: we are hosting maintaining several national and European research e-infrastructures (i.a. OpenAIRE.eu and EuDML.org), so we train and evaluate e-infrastructure operators. We have research technologists designing novel parallel programming paradigms (PCJ, in the partitioned global address space model) and leveraging existing ones (Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark) for text and data mining research. Our employees are initiating/animating several data science initiatives (R Enthusiasts’ Meetings, Warsaw Data Science Community Meetings, Warsaw Hadoop User Group) We are executing a range of postgraduate courses on data science and big data analytics. Our researchers have worked on OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and are preparing curricula for statistics and data analysis education in high schools. Therefore, we are prepared to collaborate on curricula and training programmes for a wide range of e-infrastructure professions.
What are your thoughts? Let’s discuss!
Best regards,
Lukasz Bolikowski
